Round and Round (10 well-known rounds) - Score by Rothgarber. For Soprano/Descant Recorder, Orff Instruments and voice. Classroom, Recorder Exercises. 1 - Easy. Score. Published by Sweet Pipes (MM.SP02301).
Rounds have always been a delightful source of musical fun for students, as well as a wonderful introduction to part singing. I have put together this collection with the hope that it will serve equally well the needs of the young recorder student. The rounds can be performed in a variety of ways: 1. Recorders and/or voices with melody in unison. 2. Recorders and/or voices with melody in unison, and percussion accompaniment. 3. Recorders and/or voices with melody in a round. 4. Recorders and/or voices with melody in a round, and percussion accompaniment. Any or all of the rounds can be played on tuned percussion instruments as a melody in unison, as a round, or doubling one or both parts with recorders and/or voices. A collection of familiar rounds which can be performed in a variety of ways. Scored for soprano recorders, voices, and Orff instruments. Excellent introduction of part playing and singing. Recommended for the elementary recorder player. - Herbert Rothgarber CONTENTS: Are You Sleeping?
